Top 50 Update No. 7

Just a real quick update today as I’m kind of entrenched in Draft stuff these days. Speaking of which, be sure to join me in my Draft chat at 2 p.m. ET today.

Here are the Top 50 hitters:

For Hitter of the Week, I’ve got to go with Brett Lawrie again. Not only did the Blue jays 3B prospect go 13-for-26 with three homers and 11 RBIs, he hit in every game during the week and had five multi-hit games. He finished off the week wiht a two-homer game on Sunday. And, to make things interesting, big league manager John Farrell took some by surprise my mentioning Lawrie as someone who could be playing in Toronto sooner rather than later

And now, for the pitchers…

Pitcher of the Week honors go to Martin Perez of the Rangers. In two starts, the young lefty went 13 2/3 innings, allowed just two earned runs on 10 hits and five walks, while striking out 16. It looks like he’s continuing his progress quite nicely for Double-A Frisco.
